About the Job

We’re looking for a talented writer to help craft communications for some of the most iconic leaders and companies in the world. If you have a passion for translating research into memorable messages, moving audiences while making audiences feel moved, and occasionally bantering in puns, you might be just who we’re looking for.

BPI’s clients are navigating a confluence of cultural, political, and economic challenges, while simultaneously striving to meet elevated stakeholder expectations. These converging pressures have increased the onus on executives across all types of organizations to use their positions of influence to share news and shape beliefs. We work closely with clients to raise awareness of issues, enhance organizational reputation, strengthen stakeholder relationships, and advance policy agendas. In this role, you will be responsible for working with a mix of non-profit, corporate and political clients to shape their executive messaging and visibility strategies, and develop and deliver complex written communications.

As a Speechwriting & Executive Communication Consultant, you will play a key part in our Strategic Communications practice, helping to manage client engagements.

  • Writing, Writing, and More Writing—The deliverables vary, but this is a writing-heavy job. Projects include keynote speeches, employee presentations, op-eds, annual report letters, and social media content, among others. As an associate director, you will be responsible for both drafting important written communications and editing junior team members’ contributions

  • Executive Platform Development—You will coordinate closely with both clients and internal BPI partners to identify executives’ priority messaging areas. This will include conducting intake sessions to understand clients’ core issues, opportunities and goals; synthesizing first-party and third-party research to sharpen a point of view; and developing consistent, compelling, repeatable language to help executives’ messages breakthrough in a noisy media environment. In this role, you will also work with BPI partners to identify, vet, and create earned media opportunities for clients to deliver their message

  • Client & Account Management—You will be responsible for supporting BPI’s Partners and Executive Leadership team on a variety of accounts

  • New Business Efforts—You will work with agency partners and other senior leaders to develop and pitch new business opportunities.

You’ll be part of the new business team and responsible for developing industry relationships and building an external profile in the industry. As part of driving new business efforts, your top responsibility will be maintaining and growing your core existing client relationships. You’ll also help drive new business efforts by contributing to the agency’s thought leadership and intellectual capital, including producing case studies, writing blog posts and becoming an externally known expert in the industry
